Biennale of Sydney is collaborating with the Sydney Film Festival this June to present exergue – on documenta 14, a special screening event at the Art Gallery of NSW and the State Library of NSW.
As he took on the huge task of curating the 2017 edition of documenta, Szymczyk made the crucial decision to stage the prestigious exhibition not only in its hometown of Kassel, Germany, but also in Athens, at a time when Greece was subject to harsh austerity measures by more prosperous European nations. Szymczyk and his curatorial team also took a radical approach, seeking to present a number of intensely political works. Media scandals, logistical challenges, financial deficits, and political fallout followed. With behind-the-scenes access to the key players, exergue –on documenta 14 is absolutely vital viewing for curators, arts workers, and everyone with a serious interest in how arts organisations function.
